expansion news?

Anyone know if the Southland plan on replacing UTSA and Texas st. If so, what are they waiting on?
2012 schedules need to be ready soon.

I have seen talk on the anygivensaturday board about adding Abilene Christian and possibly Texas A & M Commerce.  Out of state candidates mentioned were Delta State, Central Oklahoma and Northern Alabama.

Abilene Christian and Central Oklahoma would be the best option.

There's no reason to. UTSA never had football, and now that TSU has it, Lamar replaces them. You still have the same # of football playing members.

Now that they're gone from basketball, I think you'll see more games against Western division opponents rather than the just 2 East 1 West that has been the trend.

For other sports, you'll just see a large OOC schedule.
